About us
Amsterdam DIY Club started from a simple feeling: after years of fast-paced work and screens, we missed the calm focus that comes from creating something tangible. What began as a personal reset grew into a space where others could experience that same flow — and connect along the way.
Now Amsterdam DIY Club is a cosy, beginner-friendly creative community for people who miss making things with their hands.
We host small-group workshops (under 10 people) where you can slow down, learn a new craft, and leave with something you’re genuinely proud of — like beaded jewellery or bag charms.

Bag Charm & Key Charm Making Workshop (Altai Special Edition)
Artists' Studio Attic, Singel 260, Amsterdam, NLMake bag & key charms inspired by Altai culture with artist @mashamontanari - craft, stories, live voice & tea in a cosy canal studio.
### About this workshop
In this special edition of our bag charm–making workshop, Amsterdam DIY Club partners with artist and stylist @mashamontanari for an evening where craft meets culture.
During the workshop, you’ll create your own bag and key charms while being gently introduced to the rich, often overlooked culture of the Altai people. Through stories, visual inspiration and a live voice performance by Masha, we’ll celebrate Chagaa Bayram, the Altai New Year - and let it inspire your designs. Masha will tell you more about Altai traditions during the event.
You’ll be guided step by step, from shaping your initial idea to assembling your charms using professional jewellery tools and wire techniques. All materials, including semi-precious stones, are included and curated by Masha. She’ll also bring a few special elements directly from the Altai Mountains, which we’ll raffle among participants.
No prior experience is needed - just curiosity and a willingness to create. Come alone or bring a friend, settle into our cosy attic studio overlooking Amsterdam’s canals, sip fragrant Altai teas, chat, and leave with something truly personal.
